REAR BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY ADJUSTMENT
The rear brake pedal (3) should have a free play (B)
(0.2 in.) before the brakes begin to bite.
Should this not happen, operate as follows:
- loosen nut (4);
- operate the pump rod (5) to increase or decrease
the free play;
- tighten nut (4) at the end of the operation.

WARNING*:
When the free play requirement is not met,
the brake pads will be subjected to an early
wear that may lead to TOTAL BRAKE INEFFEC-
TIVENESS.
REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Master cylinder fluid level shall never drop below
the minimum notch shown on the clear reservoir (1).
A decrease of the fluid level will let air into the sys-
tem, hence an extension of the lever stroke.
WARNING*: If the brake pedal feels mushy
when pulled, there may be air in the brake
lines or the brake may be defective. Since it is
dangerous to operate the motorcycle under
such conditions, have the brake system im-
mediately checked by the SWM Dealer.

CAUTION*: Do not spill brake fluid onto any
painted surface or light lens.
CAUTION*: Do not mix two brands of fluid.
Completely change the brake fluid in the brake
system if you wish to switch to another fluid
brand.
CAUTION*: Brake fluid may cause irritation.
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. In case of con-
tact, flush thoroughly with water and call a
doctor if your eyes were exposed.
